writing I can sum up in one sentence: An author ought to write for the
youth of his own generation, the critics of the next, and the
schoolmasters of ever afterward ...." from The Author's
Apology, THIS SIDE OF PARADISE, 1st edition, 3rd printing,
1920. |

THE BEAUTIFUL AND DAMNED, 1922
|
|
|
|
First
edition, second printing in second printing dust jacket, inscribed by F. Scott
Fitzgerald to Henry Kingsley -- aka, Charles Kingsley, Scribners'
representative in London, England. |
|
|
|
Charles Kingsley was asked by Scribners to take over their
London office
right after the First WW in 1919. He moved to London with his family, and
they rented a house in Richmond, known as the Old Palace. It was actually
the gatehouse on Richmond Green and what little remains of a palace built by
Henry the Vlll. And therefore, Fitzgerald's playful use of the name
"Henry" being substituted for "Charles" in this inscription.
The inscription intended to commemorate Fitzgerald's afternoon with Charles
Kingsley; and Fitzgerald requested for an advance for his trip out of Richmond.
(Reference: descendent of Charles Kingsley from whom this book was acquired.)

Original second
state dust jacket is very lightly sunned on the spine;
chipped on head and toe; as well as chipped on front and back panels. The dust jacket was married to this book; however, it is a
highly appropriate match as the light sunning on the jacket matches that of the spine
on the book, as well as much of the rest of the condition on both jacket and book. |
|
|
|
|
|
Both front and back panels are in very good condition, as are
the inside flaps. Provenance for this inscription and signature is available.
